Dezeen’s first-ever awards programme, celebrating the world’s best architecture, interiors and design, is now accepting submissions. This new annual programme will be the benchmark for international design excellence and the ultimate accolade for architects and designers everywhere.

In addition, Tokyo-based German architect Astrid Klein of Klein Dytham Architecture and Assemble co-founder Paloma Strelitz will be on the panel. Ambra Medda, founder of design consultancy AMO, will also be judging entries later this year.
